Gray beautifully tells the part-fictionalised life of Ada ... vividly pictures Ada's gilded, isolated childhood -- Children's Book of the Week * The Times * A witty, poignant portrayal of the young life of the 19th century mathematician * The Bookseller * So atmospheric, totally absorbing, I LOVED it. Just like I loved Ada. You will too -- Maggie Harcourt An enjoyable read for its own sake this book would also be valuable in the classroom with its obvious curriculum links to STEAM subjects and to Ada Lovelace Day marked in October * Just Imagine *
